McGlothlin was found dead inside a home in the 4100 block of Cherry Hill Lane.

KOCO 5 spoke with McGlothlin's co-workers, who said he was always the first to come into work and the last to leave. The owner of McCall’s for Men in Edmond knew something was wrong Tuesday when McGlothlin didn’t show up for work.

“I felt it because he wasn’t communicating with me or anything,” Steve Gibson said.

McGlothlin lived alone, so Gibson sent someone over to his northwest Oklahoma City home on Cherry Hill Lane to check on him. Police said they arrived later to find his body inside.

Authorities aren’t saying how McGlothlin died but said his injuries are consistent with a homicide.

“It’s a shock to everybody who knows him,” Gibson said. “I can’t even begin to think of anyone who’d want to harm him.”

Gibson said the 79-year-old man’s absence was felt at the store all day. He said he can’t imagine who would murder his friend of more than two decades.

“(He was) very warm, giving, friendly. Just millions of friends,” Gibson said. “He would do anything for anybody.”
